Has anyone else noticed that eBay now removes old listings straight away, replacing them with another item, and it's not possible to refer back to the original listing? the original link says the item is no longer available and then, to add insult to injury, exhorts one to "check out this similar item we found for you" which is totally unrelated. (Although sometimes it is a badge)

Another thing to add to the list of items 'fixed' by eBay that weren't broken!

Yes, what a pain in the proverbial if you want to refer back to an item. They must be scared of something - perhaps it's the referrals to dubious items by forums such as this that won't let you see completed listings anymore.

An absolute pain now on ebay when you can't essilly look at ended items, though on my laptop I can usually still manage after some extra effort.

Noticed the ebay change last week but found you can still bring up old sales.
I use a laptop, they have turned it into a four step process instead of two steps... Open old listing - click see original listing - (that takes you to a current listing of there choice) and click on listing (which is in blue) in the sentence: The listing you're looking for is no longer available. - this will take you back to the first step again, click see original listing and that opens the old sale page.....

Regards
Gary

Looks like an original badge wrongly described, I suspect someone has made a bargain buy! Well done buyer...

Enjoy the hobby, Keith

When I clicked on the link all I could see was a silver horse with the word Yorkshire underneath!

There is a "See details" link in the middle that brings you straight to the original listing.

I agree, £25 was certainly a most unusual bargain these days, a pity about the missing lug, but, again, at that price.

So the LRDG Greys isn't the running horse being shown but a good LRDG one that had been shown?

It appears so, I can only go on the photographs, certainly not the best example and broken, but, I think, original, for £25!
